for more on that we turn to: shuja nawaz, director of the south asia center at the atlantic council. and moeed yusuf, director of the pakistan program at the u.s. institute of peace. mr. nawaz, as we hear about whose happening on the ground here and the magnitude of it , to what degree is there beginning to be worry that this is contributing to preexisting instability, not only in the government, but in pakistan at large? >> i think the worst is yet to come, even in terms of the flood, because the big wave has not yet reached. and clearly this is such a vast area affected as your reporter indicated, that even with the government doing a lot , it has not been seen as having done a lot. the government faces a huge mountain of negative perceptions, being inept and being corrupt, and it needs to show the people in a very transparent manner that it is actually doing something with what it has. and the aid is still not coming . a lot of it is pledged. it hasn't hit the ground yet. >> ifill: mr. yusuf, is pakistan's government, as perceived, a weak civilian government in terms of running it
